A1: A core value is something personal to me, what I believe, what I use to keep me grounded and centered. Core values within an organization would be our common beliefs that we all use as our guiding posts. #engagechat
Core values for a school can be defined as fundamental beliefs that guide the school on the right path and should be the basis upon which administrators make all decision #engagechat
A core value is a belief you have carried with you for a long time-itβs integrated in your foundation. It does not waiver- it holds firm, guiding you in your daily life. #Engagechat Integrity, respect, generosity and kindness are examples of values that mortar our personalities

You got it. We have always been about core ethical values of moral right and good. Even though we have transition into values and traits in Academic & SEL, our guiding principles to instill in schools is based upon the 6 pillars. #engagechat
A2: I believe we model our core values by how we act every second of everyday. It is the things we do, the things we say and how we behave. #engagechat
I met Dr. Josephson in about 1997 when we were working on an ethics course for Martin Marietta in conjunction with @ScottAdamsSays. Turned it into a board game for corporate training. #engagechat

A2: I have come to learn from my personal expereinces as a Supt & now in supporting Ts and adm, that your values as a leader shape the words & actions that influence the people you're in contact w/ each day. #engagechat
A2 As leaders, we model our core values with less talk and more walk. Consistency is key in this regard. Team members who see us constantly demonstrating our core values, instead of just providing lip service, are more apt to follow the example we provide. #engagechat
A2: 1st- everyone should know their leaders core values, 2nd- it should be reflected in decisions made in a school, daily. Finally, they have to walk their talk; if they are promoting these values, they need to live by them! #Engagechat
A2- A leader's core values should be visible in every interaction, conversation, decision; they're not add-ons- they're embedded. We should never have to question what a leader's core values are if they are lived and breathed. #engagechat
A2: A leader doesn't have to trumpet his or her values. They are demonstrated through the way he or she interacts with others. Actions speak louder than words. People look up to leaders who live out those values and not merely speak about them. #engagechat
A2: You have to lead with your heart and soul. Our kids deserve our best every day! Put on your big-boy/big-girl panties and do what's best for kids.....every day! #engagechat
A2: They have to lead the way by showing the decisions they make are aligned to their core values. Do your decisions match up? #makingrightchoices#EngageChat
A2
Leaders model their core values through their actions and words.
What we say and do reflect our values and who we are.
The decisions we make each day provide opportunities for us to live out our values with sincerity and integrity.
#engagechat
A2) STEP 1: Know your core values. Know what you believe and why you believe it. If you can't articulate it, you might not genuinely believe it! (Help Ss do this too)
STEP 2: Practice what you believe and reflect your believes in every decision. #engagechat
A2: As an oral processor, I like calling my core values out when confronted with a difficult decision. βNow, team. You know I canβt choose option A because it sounds more political in motivation.β Self-talk/oral processing allows others to hear your thinking. #EngageChat

A2: I can model my core values in how I interact w/others & how I treat each individual - - the things I say & the things I do during every interaction. I can also model through the things I share within the student & staff announcements & via communications home. #engagechat
A2: without speaking itβs evident what a leaderβs core values are. Where they exert efforts, time & $ speaks to values. A leader who focuses on empowerment ,safety& equity for all Ss& Ts is what we need #engagechat

Q2: Leaders can model behavior by ensuring that all stakeholders are part of decision making process. By bringing everyone to the table for every step of the process, all stakeholders can feel vital to the process #engagechat
A3: It's what a leader values, as evident in words and actions, that define us and the relationships we have with others, whether personal or professional. The impact will either build up or break down a culture of the school #engagechat
A3: Schools have to be clear and intentional about their mission and vision statements & core values. Core values can be leveraged to teach character education, support PBIS initiatives and the like. #EngageChat
A3: If they are authentically part of who the leader is, there's a much greater chance they'll be embedded into the culture. If not, it's more likely they're just words on paper. #engagechat
A3: It's what a leader values, as evident in words and actions, that define us and the relationships we have with others, whether personal or professional. The impact will either build up or break down a culture of the school #engagechat
A3: It's reflected in the school's mission statement (Public) and in the actions of the leadership/admin behind closed doors (Private)... and sometimes those two things don't always line up either. #engagechat
A3 Core values are reflected among teachers and staff. They convey to students and each other the school's mission and what the institution stands for. #EngageChat
A3: You can feel it when you walk through the doors. There is a vibe that everyone is happy and excited to be there. You see the relationships between students/students, adults/students. #engagechat
At some point, you need to know your βwhyβ as a teacher and just go for it! No more talking and dreaming. Just acting and influencing. Youβve got this! #leadupchat#EngageChat#edchat#FridayMotivation
A3 Core values are reflected in the daily habits of the team, how students engage with Ts & peers, visibility of the positional leader throughout the day, and frequency of parents visiting the school for positive reasons (special events, celebrations, etc.) #engagechat
Q3: core values are reflected in school culture by how progress is measured. Are our schools dealing with behavior issues in house, or suspending large numbers of students. It tells if core values are representing fairness and equality, or simply punishment #engagechat
A3 You can see those values in what the students, teachers, parents, and admin are doing. You can hear it in conversations, you can see it in their actions . I was so proud of 2nd graders today problem-solving relationship issues together with empathy! SO PROUD! #engagechat
A3 Our admin definitely walks the talk. They are in the halls ensuring kids are getting to school on time. They are checking on our Ss who need that extra push. They know every Ss name (756 kids) & teach class to model expectations. #engagechat
A3. Core values are reflected by the actions in which the school leaders, teachers, board take. Often, it seems that words in a mission statements reflect enough but it all boils down to action #engagechat
A3: itβs reflected in the relationships in the school, the decision making, the morale- it affects every aspect of what makes a school run! #engagechat#TXed

A3:
Core values are reflected in a school's culture because they are what CREATE a school's culture.
Our principles and values shine through in our actions and words...and the actions and words of each person in our school builds its culture.
#engagechat
A1 #engagechat A position one STANDS for no matter the cost; good bad or indifferent, because one knows STANDING is the RIGHT thing to do! Whatβs popular is not always right, and whatβs right is not always popular. Do you have the backbone to be unpopular?
A3: Core values are reflected in how people treat one another on a daily basis within an organization (adult-adult, student-student, adult-student, student-adult, etc.). They are also reflected in the common purpose the group is working towards daily. #engagechat
A3. Does the leader walk their walk and walk their talk? Is the school a welcoming school towards parents and visitors? How are people treated inside the school? Do T and P participate in engagement opp? #engagechat
#Engagechat When a school has a common vision, a well-defined and clear mission the culture tends to be more positive and productive. Core values- the deep rooted respect that grows out from a mindful atmosphere makes a successful school a happy place to learn and teach
A3 You can see those values in what the students, teachers, parents, and admin are doing. You can hear it in conversations, you can see it in their actions . I was so proud of 2nd graders today problem-solving relationship issues together with empathy! SO PROUD! #engagechat
A3) A school's culture is an amalgam of the values reflected by those in leadership roles. Thus the school's values are the ones the leaders support and exhibit. #engagechat
A3: our core values should be the pillars that our schools vision and mission statements are built upon. They must drive us, and provide a clear focus on what we want to accomplish. #EngageChat
A2 #engagechat Follow your TRUE NORTH in word, action and deed! Our Ss and Ts need more leaders with a moral compass to lead their organization beyond the TEST results!
A3.1 Unfortunately, we see people who donβt get on board with the schoolβs core values and stick out...itβs our job to reconnect with them and re-energize them back to those core values #engagechat
A3: if core values are modeled by leaders then everyone lives it too-if morals&community are ctural then u will see it in the small interactions among Ss& Ts. If student engagement is cultural, then youβll see that in all classes. It becomes the fabric of the school #engagechat
A3: When decisions and actions are guided by our values, it trickles down to the culture of the school or organization. This builds character in leaders and trust with staff and within the organization. #engagechat
A3: our core values should be the pillars that our schools vision and mission statements are built upon. They must drive us, and provide a clear focus on what we want to accomplish. #EngageChat
A3 the values of a school which makes up the culture is from the educators and students there. Culture comes from an agreed upon path to success. #EngageChat
A3: By observing how the SLs, Ts and Ss treat and interact with one another, one can get a sense of whether the core values in a school are being promulgated or remain as mere words on the school walls. #engagechat
I was recently discussing this with a school principal. They said that where they were, managing staff was hard and they couldnβt βmove people onβ if they felt that the fit wasnβt right. #engagechat
A3.2 When a schoolβs core values are reflected by everyone, everyone stays humble and hungry...every one is vital to each otherβs success #engagechat
A4: Fractured leadership. If a leader is not doing what he/she says, T's and S's will flock to those who like what someone else says. Leads to toxicity in school culture and lower performance for all stakeholders #engagechat
A4
When a leader's "say" and "do" don't align, trust is broken.
And without trust, you cannot build genuine relationships.
And it's all about relationships.
https://t.co/7Bv59WKYx9#engagechat
A4: When you have a school leader who says one thing & does another, it shows lack of integrity, It is evident in one's actions, words, decisions, methods & outcomes. If you donβt have integrity, you have nothing #engagechat
A4: Misalignment between a leader's word and deed is like cracks in the foundation of a house. Slowly, but surely it leads to the erosion of trust. #engagechat
A4: Fractured leadership. If a leader is not doing what he/she says, T's and S's will flock to those who like what someone else says. Leads to toxicity in school culture and lower performance for all stakeholders #engagechat
A4) IMO, such a situation disqualifies the person in the leadership role from being a leader. The team will quickly see the disconnect and either a new leader will arise, or the team will dissipate and find other teams with sustained leadership to follow. #engagechat
A4: The leaderβs credibility becomes questionable. When that happens, it becomes more difficult for all staff to buy in and engage in the initiatives of the school or organization. #engagechat
When actions solidify words a community functions with an ease because there is a trust that pulls people together #Engagechat when behavior strays away from a believed truth- fissions begin to crack the foundation and respect and patience fall into the progressing gaps

A4: School leaders whose actions donβt match up with their words, canβt possibly be effective in creating a positive environment that is conducive to learning #engagechat
Sometimes it just takes a frank conversation to say we are all better when you are here...some people don't feel valued or appreciated...that is a wrong that must be righted in education #engagechat
A4. It creates an environment where Ss and T don't believe in the culture, lack of trust and faith in the school, and an unwelcoming environment towards community in sharing learning beliefs! #engagechat
Say and do- plan and follow-through -expectations and altered promises when this happenstrust is difficulty regain and a fractured community is very difficult to repair #engagechat
A4: When words & actions do not match this creates a lack of trust, isolation, negativity, chaos, disconnect, no sense of purpose or pride within the organization, morale issues, etc. It can even create a hostile environment. #engagechat
A4: The success of a school is built upon the relationships you invest in and build upon. If relationship building isnβt a core value, there will be no success! #engagechat
A3 #engagechat It starts the minute someone enters the building! I can tell you the culture in 5 minutes or less. Are parents, students, teachers and strangers treated the same; in a warm, welcoming manner? If so, you get it, if not, check your hiring practices, start w/office!
A4: The schools culture shifts in a way that does not leave teachers feeling empowered to try new things in the classroom. It also harms the overall βflow and energyβ of the building. #engagechat
What is particularly troubling is when leadership is lacking in the levels above the do/say disconnect & do not take action to address the leadership gap - often allowing the ineffective person to keep filling the position. Consequences can be severe and long-lasting. #engagechat
A4: When a leader's words and actions are not congruent, it erodes the trust others have in his or her integrity. When your people find your integrity questionable, you will have a harder time convincing them when you are real. A trust-deficit leader cannot lead well. #engagechat
A4: discord , low morale, apathy, and burnout . You may not see it everywhere but there will be pockets of this that could eventually infect everyone #engagechat

A5: Relationships. But mostly walking my talk. That is a core value for me. What I ask of my kids, I do. Practice what I preach. So... learning (for myself). Being open minded to new ideas. Pushing my thinking. Challenging myself. #engagechat
A5: core values are providing equity, not equality, in classroom. Mission is to ensure the S's who require extra push are given that, while also stimulating the "higher achievers." Each S is unique, and requires different levels of scaffolding. This requires equity! #engagechat
